HAYS, Kan.-It was a classic Western Athletic Conference soccer battle in Hays on Tuesday afternoon as the Hays High Lady Indians and the Dodge City Lady Demons tangled. The cold and windy conditions proved to be difficult to handle as quality shots on goal were hard to come by. Hays High used the strong northerly wind to control the ball on the Dodge City half of the field in the first half but could not find the back of the net as the two teams played to a 0-0 tie at the break.

The Lady Indians continued to control the ball and the pace in the second half giving Dodge City very few opportunities to score. Hays was able to place a couple of quality shots on goal only to have them turned back by some nice saves by the Lady Demon keeper. After regulation, the score remained 0-0.

The first 10 minute overtime failed to produce a goal for either team but it didn’t take long to end things in overtime number two. With the wind at their backs the Lady Indians made a run towards the Dodge City goal and Hannah McGuire found Savannah Schneider on the left side and Schneider punched the ball in the left edge of the goal to give Hays the 1-0 victory.

It was the fifth goal of the season for Schneider. Hays High improves to 3-2 on the season and 1-0 in the WAC. They have little time to celebrate as they will hit the road on Thursday to face Liberal.
